This was recorded in the dark winter months of COVID and I honestly don't remember a lot of what we talked about, as I've been knee deep in therapy school (I know, I know but I still won't be YOUR therapist. Probably.) BUT I know it was amazing and sexy and all about breakups and relationships and how to get one and how to get out of one and how to get a new one and how to enjoy the whole darn process of it all even when it seems like the COVID winter of your dating life will never end. Guess what! It will! Vaccines come in all forms, baby! Listen up!   Send all Qs and coaching requests to notyourtherapistpodcast@gmail.com OR @notyourtherapistpodcast on IG.

Not Your Therapist

Breakups and Boyfriends With Beautiful Billy

Suzee is hot, cool, and has no problem getting people to fall in love with her. It's the staying in love that's the problem, even despite her best efforts to not get hurt again. So something has to change! Knowing exactly what you do in dating doesn't mean you'll stop doing it! There's more to it than that. We talk patterns and how to break them, dating in COVID, and holding yourself to treating yourself well, partially by letting go of the whole protecting yourself thing. It's time for a new chapter! Maybe even a new book. Listen up! Send all Qs and coaching requests to notyourtherapistpodcast@gmail.com OR @notyourtherapistpodcast on IG.

When Harry Met (and Met and Met) Suzee

Remember big weddings???? This episode was originally posted April 2019, when those used to happen and be a BIG FREAKIN DEAL. This episode was also a crowd favorite and we all learned a LOT from Alisa and all her incredible honesty. Enjoy! Alisa is set to get married in eight weeks. Problem is, she and her wife are not getting along. But with all that time and money and planning invested, should they call it off just because of some disagreements? Or power through and figure it out later? Listen up. Send all Qs and coaching requests to notyourtherapistpodcast@gmail.com OR @notyourtherapistpodcast on IG.

Is it Time to Call the Wedding Off?

One word for Tim Drucker: aspirational. We are ALL lucky because he blessed us with his presence to answer some long-awaited listener Qs. We discuss single allyship, love spells (he cast one for you), how to get in touch with your intuition, punctuality, what not to ask on dates, why to stop telling yourself unproductive stories, and why I'm ok with Tim doing the exact opposite of everything I would recommend anyone else ever do. And maybe you should do it too! Maybe.

We're Back! And Ready to Attack

My partner is depressed and wants to take a break: do I stay or go? What are some fun creative things to do in quarantine for my partner? Do I keep in touch with someone who I have feelings for but who sometimes lets me down? And HOW to not get annoyed by every. little. thing my partner/SO/roommate/family member/self does while locked in the house with me? Answers to all these questions and more in my last quick episode before I take a four-week-long break: the first ever for Not Your Therapist! But sometimes, in all situations, a break is needed, and I encourage you to do the same! Take a break from your established routine and try something new! Give your brain some breathing space and you'll be amazed at what's possible when everything is fresh and new. Still, send me your questions; I love them and will be back in four weeks to answer them. Listen up and I'll see you soon!

The Upside of Staying Inside

The ladies from LJ Matchmaking, aka "The Love Agents of Hollywood", join me to talk about virtual matchmaking, their virtual blind date venture (it's a HIT with my clients), and the dos and don'ts of virtual dating and beyond. We go from how to get started to what to wear to how to enjoy it and what to definitely NOT do. We also get into their super fun personal love success stories, which are nothing short of inspiring (and hilarious) and will make you think twice about searching so hard for your "type".

The Matchmakers' Guide to Virtual Dating

AND...what do with all this horniness in quarantine!? Fan Favorite Billy Griffin Jr. is BACK to update us on an EPIC assignment I gave him when he was first on over a year ago. Hint: He wasn't allowed a boyfriend for a full year, wasn't allowed to even TRY for it and now...well, you'll have to tune in. Together we talk how to use communication to grow vulnerability and ultimately build a strong and healthy bond. We discuss our invention of creative pornography, when and how to give up drinking (and when and if to pick it up again), commitment, commitment-phobes, how to stay sane in quarantine and otherwise, tips for a budding relationship, and everything turning out just as it needs to be!

When He WILL Be Your Boyfriend!

Listener question for the week: how can I be more comfortable telling my new-ish partner what I'm into sexually? Let's talk about it, as well as how to make this virtual dating thing a bit more creative and interesting, AND how to go easy on yourself and your partner because everyone handles this differently. Also, it's Passover this week so free yourself from whatever is keeping YOU enslaved, and celebrate what you're already free from that perhaps you weren't before. Let's celebrate whatever we can right now, and keep moving forward! Send me your Qs and if you're in a couple and would like to come on the show and talk about either quarantining or not together and what is or isn't working for you, reach out! I'd love to hear from you! Now listen up!

Sex in Quarantine! Live or Not!

Alex Jospin (health and wellness expert and my single out in the field, AND the brain behind this incredible episode title) joins me to talk about all things dating and COVID, as well as her personal recs for staying healthy and sane (ish). You can do nothing if you're feeling burnt out, you can have chat sex if you're feeling bold, you can do anything you want because we're all feeling everything! Be bold! Because for the foreseeable future you have nothing to lose but everything to gain by getting a little crazy and "meeting" someone new! Listen up!
